So who is Tales of Odyssey?
Well hello, my name is Ráchelle. I consider myself an adventurous content creator and filmmaker strongly driven by travel, wildlife, nature and conservation. Since August of 2021 I have been sharing my travels and adventures across my online platforms. I love going off-the beaten-track but also delving into wild places. Here I connect with people and organisations offering ethical experiences or who are working hard to protect these environments and the species that call it home. I am curious to the core and love learning about places, people and environments. I also have a strong love for the ocean and have been developing my skills as a freediver. After presenting my projects online for so long, I felt the urge to make more in-depth and qualitative content for various audiences and that is how the concept of making a documentary came along. Connecting people with the adventurous side of travel to lesser visited places and understanding how to do so ethically while also enjoying and appreciating nature has become a driving force.
Before delving into this adventure I wasn’t always sure about my path. I have always loved being in nature but for a part of my adult life I was working jobs that were not fulfilling me. I would sit at my office desk wondering if this is what my life was meant to look like, born to sit in a chair for 9 hours a day and commute there for 2 hours a day. I decided to take the risk and try and fill my life with more things that I love and find purpose along the way.
